Might work with an RB3 as well.

It's a 4/10 sheath. Couple stitches messed up. Edge is funky. Missed the stitch inlay on the backside when I made my holes. But it's solid and would make a good beater.

Wanna give it to someone who will get use from it and not just have to trash it myself.

A thought struck me about a fun experimental project; what if I could make a tomahawk type weapon using 2 AH-1 Arrowheads, one on each side. I would have to have the stick with the head covering the two points on each one so if it goes into something soft, the points dont get stuck and I couldn't pull it out.

Also, I don't know the best way to attach them securely using the holes in the shafts...

I just got this kit because it’s stainless steel versus the other 2 military surplus ones I’ve had in the past that were made in aluminum.

I made a quick and simple cover without a sewing machine, but next time I need to learn how to sew.

it’s ugly and I doubt the draw string seam at the top will last and when it fails, I’ll ask someone to help me out and sew the seam for me.

I have found to many outdoor projects i work on require some level of banging or flattening or a heavy duty work surface. So i am trying to build something that will work for most of that type of work.

Is it possible to make a kydex-like sheath using PVC or the black pipes, not sure of the name of it? Figured I could warm it to soften, put the Arrowhead between the 2 halves and press with a stiff closed cell foam to secure tightly.
